Texas Frontier Scouts - Protected the area of Texas. A distinction is that the soldiers were paid from the state treasury and not from the Confederate treasury. Texas had three military districts organized for the Texas Frontier Scouts. The 20th Brigade, that included Hood County, was in the Second District. It was nicknamed "the Bloody 20th" because it saw little "action." However, it did keep busy with local marauding Indians.
